Carina Laventure

Carina Laventure is leading the development of Artistry in Action, a mentorship project that fosters youth civic engagement through art. The program pairs high school students with experienced artists to conduct an art-centered exploration of a community issue they have identified. Through a structured curriculum, mentees will learn how to choose a thematic focus for their work and develop artistic techniques that effectively raise awareness for their selected issue.
